Thoughts While ShavingThe Stock Market is showing some positive times … Important to all, especially retirees…

Weather for the local area … Today, sunny with a high near 88 … Partly cloudy tonight with a low around 60 and windy. Sunday, (Church Day) mostly sunny with a high near 77 and more wind…

If you need rain, best of luck, I see nothing in the forecast over the next week or so that indicates any rain … period.

MLB … Nationals (25-32) vs Phillies (25-32) … Nationals won yesterday 8-7. Same two teams play at 4:05 p.m. today … If my info is correct, MacKenzie Gore will be the Nationals starting pitcher … Gore is a Whiteville native…

Take your pick … Golf, MLB, NASCAR, and much more…

I recall going to the beach with mom and dad and siblings, sometimes included uncles and aunts and their families … many years ago … not in June … usually late September or early October…

We use a fair amount of bottled water, not sure why … better than drinking from the old hand-pump … I suppose … stacks and stacks of water at numerous retail outlets … 20 to 24 bottles for about $3.99, give or take a little.

As I grow older, my pace is slower and staying home is not a bad option…

Former Fairmont high school baseball catcher, most recent PGA pro, William McGirt was invited to play in this week’s Memorial Golf Tournament … (Jack Nicklaus Tournament), an event he won several years ago … He has suffered numerous health issues in recent years. He continues to play, but not as well as he once did. Leader after 2 rounds at this year’s event is Justin Suh at 8 under par. McGirt tied with several at +7, had rounds of 77 & 74 … failed to make the cut.

Wonder if leaders of the United Methodist Church ever regret decisions that has caused much discomfort for long time UMC worshippers?
